What is considered a school group?

–School groups eligible for free admission consist of students whose attendance on this field trip is associated directly with a  recognized bona fide school (public, private or home), pre-K through 12th grade.

–If this isn’t a regular class-organized trip the rule of thumb for the free tour is the group wanting to visit must not be able to exist without a school.

•Examples of non-class trips which are considered school groups include but are not limited to the Honor Society, the Library Club, the Journalism Club, TRIO programs, the Student Council, the AP History Club.

•Examples of non-school groups include but are not limited to Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs, 4H, church youth groups, Boy and Girl Scouts, day care centers and summer camps.
